It’s about time, Mueller meets pushback – Federal judge accuses Mueller’s team of ‘lying,’ trying to target Trump: ‘C’mon man!’ | Fox News

A federal judge on Friday harshly rebuked Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team during a hearing for ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort – suggesting they lied about the scope of the investigation, are seeking “unfettered power” and are more interested in bringing down the president.

“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort,” U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III told Mueller’s team. “You really care about what information Mr. Manafort can give you to lead you to Mr. Trump and an impeachment, or whatever.”

Further, Ellis demanded to see the unredacted “scope memo,” a document outlining the scope of the special counsel’s Russia probe that congressional Republicans have also sought.

Today Mueller found out he is not “God.” The question remains how many steps down below god that he is. One things for certain, he’s now plowing through molassus in the court system and this should provide some fuel for others that Mueller is trying to bankrupt and turn against the administration.

Both hands clapping for Judge T.S. Ellis III.
